Yeah, I don't love it either. There's an argument that they'd be more enthusiastic about it given that K8P's overarching purpose is safeguarding texts from destruction, but that might be motivated reasoning.
Though, Mathilde doesn't have any reason to think that the Printing Press will soon be viable enough to massively expand the book population.
its gonna get destroyed either way, because someone's gonna be garrisoned here and they will want fortifications and housing. archeology is a thing in Whf but it gets put after the needs of the many and this nexus is critical for a whole lot of people in the reikland.
That, and we need to tell someone ASAP about that nexus. Mathilde seemed convinced that it would quickly be found by ill-intentioned people, and having beastmen taking control of a device that allows a huge area to be fertile and prevent a forest from becoming evil would be horrifying.
i dont think we will let it sit around if we dont tell the emperor, that seems unfounded.
its a whole town, you cannot garrison a whole town and with the empires way to wage war you want free fields of fire for cannons and muskets. so someone gonna plop a fortress down and clear the fields of fire. some buildings will probably just taken over but quite a few will not.

Hey be fair. 'Here be Dragons' is an important and enduring landmark in the Warhammer world.
Was, past tense. Growing pains weren't pretty, but AoS is pretty solid right now. 2nd and 3rd Edition are major improvements.
personally that last part is my reason for not being interested in AoS. i really like the whole"faith, steel and gunpowder" that the empire has going on and that extends to most of the rest of the old world. and if i want more fantasy i can go visit the mummies or the various flavours of elf.
I have strong feelings about AoS so I have to mention that portals to anywhere from anywhere popping up whenever convenient isn't actually what happens. All portals are static in location and lead to predictable spots and are well documented with the exception of Chaos hellportals. It's very rare for a portal to appear out of nowhere, and the reason I'm saying this is because the first Campaign for AoS was all about capturing strategic locations in the form of dimensional pathways in static locations and creating fortresses out of them and then cities. Age of Sigmar is an objective capture game, so there is always an objective to capture. They can always make up some random event that inspires a bunch of factions to come fight it out, or make some subsection of an existing faction come crashing in, but random happenstance isn't exactly how things work. There is always a cause and effect.
That's completely fine and valid. I don't ask anyone to be interested in AoS, but I will always fight for people to represent it fairly. It's been getting a bad rap for too long for things that it isn't. A lot of the hate comes from ignorance. If somebody hates AoS, I want it to be at the very least constructive.
